Scheduling impact for Scotland
The UK's bank holidays differ across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Scotland has its own bank holiday schedule (including 2 January and St Andrew's Day), while Northern Ireland observes St Patrick's Day and the Battle of the Boyne. For UK-wide operations, this means some locations are closed when others aren't. Plan region-specific rosters rather than a single UK template.
